  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Oh and....
All the Chevy powered teams received a -10 spot grid penalty because Chevy changed all the engines due to a problem.

9 of the top 10 finishers were powered by Chevy.....:pop4:
 
I haven't bothered too much with the series this year [Fugly cars.....:icon_eek:] so what is a 'Lotus' engine?
Or more to the point, is there a Lotus Champcar/Indycar/IRL or whatever web site?
:isadizzy:
 
Wombat,
The Indycar Lotus is a joint venture between Judd & Jack Brabham & badged/sponsored by Lotus
....:kilroy:
 
I would expect John Judd [if he still controls the company] to get that powerplant up to speed sooner rather than later.
Of course, it would depend on how much money 'Lotus' [or izzat Proton?] are spending.
Sir Jack has long been one of the cornerstones of the Judd business for decades, but I think he would be well out of the picture these days except for his name.
I should have used Google ........:kilroy:
